Micro irrigation refers to a modern method of irrigation which uses drip sprinklers, foggers, and other emitters on surface or subsurface of the land. The drip irrigation system helps in saving water, improves yield production, and is suitable for all types of soil. There are various types of micro irrigation systems, which include sprinkler irrigation, drip irrigation, spray irrigation, among others. The GCC micro irrigation systems market basically covers various end-users such as family farms, corporate farming, and others.

Key GCC Micro Irrigation Systems Market Drivers

One of the major factors that is responsible for the growth of the GCC micro irrigation systems market includes the significant growth in the agriculture sector in the Middle East countries such as the UAE. According to the World Bank, the total percentage of GDP of agriculture, forestry, and fishing in the UAE amounted to 0.73% for the year 2019. Moreover, the rising rate of population and the rapid environmental changes are two other factors that are further surging the growth of the market. Modern micro irrigation systems are gaining traction over the traditional systems of irrigation as these systems consume less amount of water and improve crop yields. Moreover, the decreased labor costs, improved farm productivity, and efficient use of fertilizers are further driving the growth of the market over the coming years.

There has been an increase in the need for food and water due to the rising population rate, which is encouraging the farmers to opt for efficient irrigation techniques, thus surging the demand for micro irrigation systems. In 2016, the World Economic Forum (WEF) listed “Water Crises” as one of the leading risks that will impact the world. The UAE is among the most water-scarce regions of the world. Thus, the increasing scarcity of water across various GCC countries will further support the growth of the micro irrigation systems market in GCC. The micro-irrigation systems such as drip and sprinklers decrease the water consumption of crops and increase the yield.

GCC Micro Irrigation Systems Market Segment Analysis

Type – Segment Analysis

Based on the type, the sprinkler system is anticipated to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. This is mainly due to the various benefits offered by this type of system, such as it facilitates uniform distribution of water, cost-effective as compared to a drip system, and provides widespread coverage of the field.

Crop – Segment Analysis

Based on the crop, the plantation crops is expected to grow at a faster CAGR during the forecast period. The rising consumption of tea and coffee products in the UAE and Saudi Arabia is a major factor that is driving the growth of the segment in the market. On the other hand, the Orchard and Vineyard crops is projected to dominate the market during the forecast period. The emerging trend of micro-farming of plantation and orchard crops in residential properties is a major factor that is contributing to the growth of the segment.

Country – Segment Analysis:

Based on the country, the UAE is projected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. The rising adoption of smart farming and advanced agricultural tools is a key driver that is responsible for the growth of the market growth. Moreover, the increasing population rate is further encouraging the farmers to opt for micro irrigation systems to improve yield productivity. In 2020, the UAE government announced to invest USD 100 million in controlled-environment farming. The Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) is backing AeroFarms, Madar Farms, RNZ, and Responsive Drip Irrigation (RDI), to build new R&D production facilities in the country. All these factors will have a positive impact on the growth of the micro irrigation systems market in the UAE.
